Call friends and family in red states. Every Senator is a target, but some are bigger targets than others:
• Corker (TN), Flake (AZ) and Johnson (WI) refused to vote for the bill yesterday without assurances that more changes could be made.
• Collins (ME) has not yet declared her position.
• Rubio (FL) and and Lee (UT) are trying to increase the child tax credit.
• Corker (TN), Flake (AZ) and Johnson (WI) refused to vote for the bill yesterday without assurances that more changes could be made.
• Collins (ME) has not yet declared her position.
• Rubio (FL) and and Lee (UT) are trying to increase the child tax credit.
There will be more twists and turns. But WE MUST CONTINUE TO MAKE NOISE! The Trump Tax Scam must be stopped.
